Phoenix Zoo lion cubs officially have names after public votes tallied

The Phoenix Zoo has officially named the two lion cubs born on June 3. The male cubs will be called Jasiri and Azizi. This exciting announcement comes as the zoo continues to promote wildlife conservation and education.

Jasiri, which means “brave” in Swahili, and Azizi, meaning “precious,” are part of the zoo’s efforts to engage visitors with the story of these majestic animals. Both cubs are thriving in their new environment, providing a unique opportunity for families to learn about lion behavior and habitat conservation.

Visitors to the zoo are already enjoying watching the playful antics of the cubs. They are quickly becoming a favorite attraction, enchanting guests with their energy and curiosity. The Phoenix Zoo aims to create memorable experiences while fostering a deeper understanding of wildlife among its visitors.

As part of the zoo’s mission, the introduction of these cubs highlights the importance of protecting endangered species. Lions, once prevalent across Africa, face numerous challenges in the wild, making such breeding programs critical for their survival.
